1948 Map of Petersburg C-4

About this map

Duncan Canal defines the coastal geography of this mid-century survey, separating the eastern shores of Kupreanof Island from the Lindenberg Peninsula. The map documents a sparsely populated maritime landscape where travel was primarily waterborne, evidenced by the scattered Cabin sites located near protected inlets like Little Duncan Bay and the narrows of Beecher Pass. The intricate coastline is marked by significant tidal flats and numerous small islands such as Big Saltery Island and Fair Island, which served as navigational markers for those moving between the larger landmasses of Woewodski Island and the mainland.
